& the TR PMOP retool(will it still have the base mode ) as G1 Prime looks ok, although weird how we're getting Orion Pax with it instead of Roller(but maybe the Takara Tomy release will give us one )

OP is not a retool, there isn't a single piece on what is shown that is the same as on PMOP, except maybe the wheels. Shared engineering is a possibility, but we would need to see the inside of the trailer to confirm that.

And exactly where to you get the idea that Roller should have been included instead of Orion Pax. The whole gimmick for Leaders is evolution. Did Roller ever evolve into Optimus Prime?

Optimus looks really good but I feel Hasbro just stepped to the line without crossing over. Here's hoping Takara gives us the PMOP/SG that we all thought was coming. Kinda disappointed too that once again we get a Prime with a trailer that's just used to make a bigger bot, at least that's how it looks for now. Other than that everything else looks ok, I hope all the Dinobots come with guns and swords. Oh, Starscream looks a lot better.

Blue chest Swoop?

The Dinobots look so awesome I can't wait to get them all. Optimus looks fantastic.

I'm surprised and ever so slightly disappointed Hasbro went with the cartoon-accurate blue chest instead of the toy/marvel-accurate red chest -- blue's the one I prefer, but we all know Takara's gonna go with cartoon accuracy so it would have been nice to have options. Either way, I'm not complaining -- like I said, it's my preferred colour and I feel I'm going to be very happy with picking up him and Slash

Why?

I'm impressed by Optimus's leader mode, even if I think the truck mode looks hideous. I might pick him up just to keep him in combined robot mode.

As for the Dinobots, I like them as well, but will probably only pick up the original 5. My only gripe is that Sludge is a deluxe. He should be at least a voyager. If they downsized him for the sake of the combiner, they should have just made Slash the 4th limb instead and left Sludge by himself, or had him be interchangeable with Grimlock as the torso.

She just looks great, and these pictures showed something in particular I love -- the Dinobots have kept the transparent stuff they had on their original toys; like Swoop's lower jaw. And Slash goes along with that theme by having the top of her head be that same transparent stuff, which looks great and is just an awesome attention to detail

Plus, new character! I love having new characters

My want list so far is all the Dinobots, and probably Prime and Jazz.

Huh, you're right, I missed that. I'm actually excited to learn what the character's back story is, if she will be given one. And I might change my mind and pick her up along with the other 5.

And yes, I wish Swoop's chest was red as well, even though I also prefer blue. But red is... I don't know, just right. It's what he had in the comics.

Can't help but think that perhaps swoop was "see it in our booth!" to avoid disappointing some at the panel with the chest
I've always been a blue swoop kinda guy myself though, so he's ticking allllllll the right boxes. Insta-buy right there.
Loving the new approach to HFGs too- having armour and PM integration avoid them being useless on their own, and the feet especially look so much better this time around
Slash is wonderful and makes me incredibly happy
And this isn't half of the (expected) reveals for this weekend! Nitpick as much as you like (I know I will in time), you can't deny we're spoilt rotten.

EDIT: just noticed how much voclanicus' face resembles grimlocks current IDW/mtmte design-wise the crest not so much but the jaw/cheekbones in particular. Beautiful touch, love that kind of easter egg.
